NTLC Guidelines for Requesting Individual Funding
The Nakatani Teaching and Learning Center is committed to supporting Faculty/Instructors at
UW-Stout and has set aside dollars for the support of Faculty/Instructors engaging in teaching and
learning related activities. However, since the budget is limited, you are always encouraged to seek
funding from multiple sources.
The financial support that NTLC is able to provide is in the form of a services and supplies
allocation and may be used to purchase travel, books and/or equipment. While preference will be given to
those who have not recently received NTLC funding, if you wish to be considered for the Center’s
support, you will need to send me the requested information outlined below. Supplying me with this
information is both helpful in the allocation of funding as well as in capturing “data” descriptive of the
impact NTLC has and in identifying how people feel about its impact. Requirements regarding both
travelships as well as the purchase of books and equipment are included.
Please e-mail your completed information to howartonr@uwstout.edu and let me know if you
have questions. I look forward to working with you!
Kindest regards,
Renee Howarton
